Two hundred pages. Four committee members. One woman who refused to lose to a Word document. The dissertation is done, and it is time to burn something ceremonially.

This dissertation gift puts the victory on a label. Smells Like Lit Up That Dissertation, with her name printed above it, because the author line matters.

Add her name right on the product page and we print it on the label. Fewer revisions than chapter three required.

Who this is for:

• The scholar who has said "per my committee's feedback" through gritted teeth
• The friend who defended and then slept for a geological era
• Anyone needing a phd gift for her that celebrates the grind, not just the gown
• The academic who would appreciate a natural wax candle with a citation-worthy joke

Scent is the epilogue. Lavender for the recovery sabbatical. Blackberry Vanilla for celebratory couch time. Cashmere Musk for conference-keynote energy. Unscented if she needs one thing in her life with no notes.

What you get:

• 9oz candle available in an amber or clear glass jar
• Vegan blend of coconut, apricot, and soy wax with a small amount of food-grade paraffin for structure and scent throw
• Clean-burning, biodegradable, and free from toxins, parabens, and phthalates
• Cotton wick
• Printed in the USA
• Makes a gift she will actually keep

Dissertation lit. Candle lit. Doctor made.
